    you’re the type of person to comment “not all cops are bad” under a video of a cop shooting a person 27 times for a non-violent drug “offense”, aren’t you?

      No?

      None of this was racist. It was a political dislike of the CCP, and the Chinese legal and political system, and not the Chinese people.

      You’re trying to get back at me with a misrepresentation of my comment, congrats!

          Again, misguided, possibly, but fearing the state (which may do some things through the people), not racistly (is this a word?) assuming anything made by a Chinese person, is bad.

          If they were racist, they would also dislike the stuff made by Chinese people in, for example, the US, and I can say with confidence that most likely that is not the case.

            You are so transparent or naive to a fault. Either way. Not a good look.

            More importantly, it’s not you who dictates what is and isn’t racism towards individuals. Learn to shut up, listen, and understand.

              I’m not deciding what is racist. I’m just using the definitions.

              Definition of racism

              1 : a belief that race is a fundamental determinant of human traits and capacities and that racial differences produce an inherent superiority of a particular race

              https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/racism

              policies, behaviours, rules, etc. that result in a continued unfair advantage to some people and unfair or harmful treatment of others based on race

              harmful or unfair things that people say, do, or think based on the belief that their own race makes them more intelligent, good, moral, etc. than people of other races

              https://dictionary.cambridge.org/dictionary/english/racism

              Neither of those definitions would classify this as racism.

              Also, you don’t get to just claim that anything is racism. Don’t expect people to not tell you to fuck off if you say stupid things.

            i get you, those comments might have been just very poorly articulated “there is no way this cpu is going to make it to production in it’s current open source form without any backdoors by the communist party, which is notorious for it’s desire for surveillance and total control”, but it seems unlikely…

              Maybe it’s unlikely, but let’s be fair and presume innocence.

              You also managed to sum up my own views, although I would replace the “no way” with “there’s a healthy chance”

        It was a dislike of something you know nothing about apart from how the U.S. media wants to present it.

          I’m not even American nor do I read any American newspapers or watch any American news television.

          I just dislike China’s policies.

        Instead of hiding your Western chauvinist notions behind these slick comments, you should honestly just make it clear. People will stop getting bothered that way, atleast.
